Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented J an. 5, 1915.

Application filed January 31, 1913. Serial No. 745,491.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OSCAR Honors, of the town of Carnrose, in the Province of Alberta, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Colters for Flows, and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in colters for plows and the objects of the invention are to provide certain improvements whereby the colter will be held firmly in position and in addition give support to the plow and will also serve to guide any roots or anv other articles uprooted from the surface by the plow and it consists essentially of the improved construction hereinafter described in detail in the accompanying specification and drawings.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a serial view showing the colter and the share and the landside elements of an improved form of plow designed for use in connection therewith. Fig. 2 shows a cross section through the same when assembled. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the assembled parts.

In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

It may be stated that the improved form of colter herein described is adapted to be used particularly in connection with the plow described in my application Serial Number 681,770.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the colter which is provided at its lower end with a flange 10. The share F is provided with a lip or flange 28 formed integral therewith and bent beneath the point thereof in such a manner that it embraces the flange 10 of the colter A, the shoe 30 and the front end of the landside 31. This shoe 30 is preferably made angle-shaped in cross section and is adapted to fit over the front end of the landside 31, which front is tapered off for that purpose.

The colter is characterized by having a much greater slant than usually applied, the slant being substantially 80 and it is also provided with a laterally extending fin or projection 11 which is bent over and extends laterally across the mold board and is adapted to form a guard element to protect the mold board from any roots or other obstructions which rise out of the ground. This projection is slightly inclined rearwardly so that obstacles encountering it will slide off rearwardly to one side.

As many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely different embodiments of my invention, within the scope of the claims, constructed without departing from the spirit or scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification and drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

WVhat I claim as my invention is:-

1. In a plow and in combination, a colter having a flange on the bottom edge thereof, the cutting edge of the colter being disposed at an acute angle to the said bottom edge, a projecting fin bent over and extending laterally across the moldboard, and a share having a flange formed integrahtherewith, substantiallv as described.

2. In a plow and in combination, a colter having a flange on the bottom edge thereof, the cutting edge of the said colter being disposed at an angle of substantially thirty degrees to the said bottom edge, a projecting fin bent over and extending laterally across the moldboard, a share having a flange formed integral therewith, a shoe and a lands de, substantially as described.

3. In a plow and in combination, a colter having a flange on the bottom edge thereof, the cutting edge of the said colter being d sposed at an angle of substantially thirty degrees to the said bottom edge. a projecting fin bent over and extending laterally across the moldboard. a share having a flange formed integral therewith. such flange being bent beneath the point of the said share, a shoe substantiallv angle shaped in cross section. and a landside substantially as described. o

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.

OSCAR HOUGI-I.
